Curren$y

Wasn't the biggest fan of his June mixtape 'Fear and Loathing in New Orleans' but Curren$y is coming strong since his split from Wayne's camp. I love seeing DIY videos by somewhat established rappers, it's kinda humbling, especially in the money driven video age. Check Air Assault below featuring FS Jets for some heavy N.O rap action.

Grindin

Things have gone a little quiet in the last week, finished up at the Stank, big thank you to the whole team and everyone I met along the way. But I need to get my grind back on, had an interesting meeting today and I'm feeling somewhat positive about the future. So tomorrow, I'm going to the Mac shop - big up the mac team @ Brent Cross, they handle it right. Boosting my ram, getting my book cleaned up and gonna go at it hard.

So in light of my new found desire to "make it" lol and get back on my grind here is a little video from the king of the one-liners, annoying catch phrases and Palestine's number one export since the Keffiyeh - DJ KHALED!!! "WE DA BEESSSSSTTT!!"

He Needs A Post All Of His Own

I think you lot are lazy... All 15 of you, the other 485odd views on here are by me constantly refreshing the page and basking in self-gratification and ego boosting voyeurism!!!

You might not take my word for it, but this guy is sick! Perhaps its cos i'm straight outta uni, or because i'm a white kid wanting to be a rapper LMAO!

So here are some visuals of my main man Asher Roth as you might not download the mixtape, take a walk on the wild side and view the following footage, you know it makes sense:







If my opinion doesn't count for much, which it pretty much doesn't! Take Rico Wade's advise and blaze a big fat ZOOT!

We're In A Nice Place Right Now

I've been listening to a couple of new rappers recently, and i'm kinda late on Kid Cudi but his mixtape 'A Kid Named Cudi' is pure fire! Can't get enough of it, it's a classic mixtape and has certainly wet my appetite for a full release. It's sponsored by 10Deep, I like the brand, was rocking a lot of it in the MIA last year. But the crazy hats don't seem to work in the same way in dreary London Town. Although the sun is making some what of a late emergence, who knows you could seem me sporting one again come August!

Hip Hop is without a doubt in a good place right now, with Kidz in the Hall, Cool Kids, Wale, Kid Cudi and my latest find Asher Roth bringing back that swagger of years gone by steeped in lyrical talent. Its nice to finally have something to shout about. Not that my love for Hip Hop dwindled in anyway shape or form, but it certainly went through a slight lull in recent times.



So Asher Roth, who the hell is he you might ask? Well i've only just stumbled across him myself. Well what can I tell you about him? Not a great deal really, but his mixtape 'The Greenhouse Effect aka The Greatest Mixtape Ever!' is certainly something all hip hop heads need in their life. The blatant comparisons to Eminem are going to arise, in part due to his ethnicity and his candid wordplay sparking similarities. But he kinda reminds me of Edan, that might be at bit of a push. Roth is doing alot and with backing from Don Cannon & Dj Drama this tape is in good hands. He certainly isn't without industry backing, with Luda and Akon both showing support. I love his honesty and appreciation for those around him, check the videos of him below with Luda & Akon, this guy is refreshing and certainly has my support, admiration and backing for what its worth!!!
